Tibet
In 2003 Parenti published an article titled "Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth". The article was reviewed positively by Thomas Riggins for Political Affairs, and in April 2008 was critiqued by Joshua Michael Schrei. For a brief discussion between Parenti and Schrei that took place in 2003, see here.
